Does anyone have any answers? Thanks. I did something like this with my old SVR4 system to autolog me into my SLIP account. I used uucico to do most of the background work; then my program killed uucico and fired off slattach. You may be able to hack Taylor uucico to do something similar with you winding up with control of the tty. ...Anybody else?? gary kline >
